Custom Dash
« on: January 13, 2009, 09:23:28 PM »
About two months ago I was inspired to paint my dash when DeepBlueGxp painted his switch surroundings on he steering wheel, doors, and the e-brake.  I went all out with an idea of painting the "WICKED" color which included the dash and all the other easily removable parts that DeepblueGXP did.  Stripping the paint off the pieces was not easy.  The color came out great and It goes well with the red stitching.  This is an awsome way to go.

Looks great, Joe!  Now, how would you like to do my steering wheel, door, and e-brake surrounds in Brazen next time I'm down your way?

Great job Dark Tech.  Reminds me of some of the old English Roadster dashes just a bit.  You will get many compliments down the road.

Sure thing, goto Napa AutoParts with your color code and pick up a pint of brazen and a quart of clear (smallest that the sell) and hardner to got with it.  If your remote control car doesn't match the way you like, we'll spray that also. :)

Joe,

Great job on your dash.  :thumbs: That color would look great on my dash. Maybe a future project for me.

I remember seeing your dash in Lexington, KY.  I was impressed wth how well it went with the red stitching and the red lighting you have that glows the floor.
